What are you averaging per day, in terms of your daily carb intake? I am having a hard time staying below 70g.

Usually somewhere between 150-200. More if I happen to have burned a ton of calories that day.0

For me on average around 300g. Some days it's 250 some it might go even up to 600. I don't count my carbs. I make sure I hit minimum 1g of protein per pound of body weight and minimum 75g fat. Anything above that I do not count and I just fill rest of my cals with whatever...
Low carb diets makes me feel like crap. Kinda like having flue, no energy at all. Don't like it.0 -

This yeah.
As soon as I get protein and fat in I don't pay much attention to the rest

I try and stick around 100g a day0

What ever motivated you to choose a 70g/day carb limit anyways? Considering there is carbs in almost every food that seems really really low. Consider opening your food diary maybe?0

My net carbs are usually 30 or less, but that's because I eat keto-style.0

I've lost 15 lbs in just shy of 30 days; cutting down on carbs has worked for me so far, and I feel far better doing so. No more digestive annoyances and the scale speaks for itself.0

its different every day
carbs are my fuel for all the cardio I do.0 -

Same for me. I was stuck for months, then my husband suggested keto based on one of his online friends. She lost a bunch of weight eating that way. So I researched and decided to give it a go. I'm almost down 30 lbs since July, and I've lost several inches too. I don't really miss carbs that much either.0 -
Around 350 on average0

Try to stay below 150, but i prefer around 125. Not a necessity, but i feel better at these amounts.0

Actually - you may be eating LESS carbs than you think, IF you're eating a lot more fruit / veg and/or other foods full of fibre. Fibre is classed as a carb. So if you deduct you're fibre cals from your carb cals, you end up with NET carb cals. There's actually a script you can get for your web browser especially for MFP that calculates net carbs for you. But you must alter your goals to track fibre cals for the script to work.

I average 150-200 a day, typically.0

I am doing High carb day every 4th day on 1500kcal/ around 180 carbs. On Low carb days(3 consecutive days) I am on 1200 kcal and around 40-45g/day. It works for me.0

Less than 30g.0

I don't think it's the amount that is so important as the quality. If you are getting your carbohydrates from oreos, burger patties and french fries, that isn't so healthy in my view. I always opt for whole grains and brown rice over white whenever I have the choice. Like others in this thread, I eat lots of carbohydrates, averaging probably between 250g-350g per day. I also eat a vegan diet and have lost 141 pounds in 9 months. Based on my personal experiences I would assert that carbohydrates are not the enemy, rather, junk food is.0
